The Magento REST API defines a set of functions that a developer can use to perform requests and receive responses. These interactions are performed using the HTTP protocol.
The caller issues an HTTP request, which contains the following elements:
- An HTTP header that provides authentication and other instructions
- A verb, which can be one of GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE.
- An endpoint, which is a Uniform Resource Indicator (URI) that identifies the server, the web service, and the resource being acted on.
- The call payload, which is set of input parameters and attributes that you supply with the request.
